There's a world between biting too early (and giving reasons to future opponents to call trick plays) and back pedaling several seconds after it has become clear it's a plain run.



Again, great signing, great addition. Just saying he's not gonna make plays against the run and it might create some frustrating situations, like conceding a 3rd and 9 on an outside run. That's something guys like Kyle Fuller or Moreland at very good at.

I don't know how my posts come off. I'm a fan of this signing. I'm just saying on 2 games, the only knock I saw was he looked kinda of hesitant to go make a play on the ball carrier.

Right....but it’s hard to state it as a rock solid fact like you do when you don’t necessarily know who was supposed to be doing what on any given play. Also looking at two games when the guy has played several years may not be an accurate sample size. For all we know he had a bum shoulder or something in those games and they told him to lay off heavy contact. 🤷*♂️ By all accounts we got a really good player, so I wouldn’t sweat it just yet.

Agree with everything you said there. My point was to highlight something to keep an eye on, and be ready that this may be one of his weaknesses. The main point of my posts on him was to say how great a signing this looks to be.

Definitely something I'll be keeping an eye when the season starts. Hopefully it won't matter if our LB's and safeties can diag quick and move up on running plays.

Your post was fine, my nevermind was because i had written something but when i looked back at the play I was wrong. ( i thought a RB had leaked out the backside of the play for a potential reverse) All is good.

Looking forward to seeing him play. I just realized I posted more about the one little knock I saw on him than on the main thing that was how good his coverage looks!

Obviously the scouting report on him isn't big, physical corner who steps up in run defense.

If he can shut down WR's in the pass game that's good enough for me.
